@Frank Apisa,
No end to the variety of beliefs, Frank.
But as so often been succinctly noted, 'no more than one may be correct'

And in many cases (not all) none may be correct.

Wish people would consider that!

That was Bertrand Russell's conclusion.
Doesn't that imply relativism?

I believe it all comes from God. Similar to this passage:

Isaiah 45:7
King James Bible
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Alas, quantum physics implies such simplistic logic has had its epistemological day with its adage "whatever can happen, does happen". The philosophical implication is that dichotomies based on the "law of the excluded middle", (such as right/wrong , good/evil etc) are always embedded in shifting dynamic social context.

@vansdad,
Do you believe context is important in scripture?

True

Exactly Andy the reason for my novel approach since, after all, "impossible" means can't be done. For instance She can't make herself both exist and not exist

Quote:
(Not so if you're speaking of a 'god' lower case.
To the contrary, I find Her awesome

Quote:
Your "She" seems to be one of those puny creatures residing on Mt. Olympus or Asgard or somewhere similar.)
Hardly puny; She is It, everything. The Universe is Her body and all the activity therein Her thinking. We are in effect Her brain cells

We're a buncha hop heads
Dregs of the vat
Born in a barley oast
Never knowin where we're at
Of all the drunken hop heads
We were the first.
Fermented and plastered and
Burped all over the universe . . .

True, Andy, true

It only implies that the humanoid has limited reasoning ability. It's much more logical to assume She can't do the impossible. So everything---She, It--is something that's possible

Quote:
(....lower case. Your "She" ... puny creatures....or somewhere similar.)
Vague feeling we've been here before, Andy

@Godisapoormanager,
Because it is arrogant not ignorant to be evil, it is good to destroy those idiots who continually deny higher morals.

also. I bet you do not even begin to understand the concept of the devil.

but the answer is arrogance justifies condemnation.

Except for the part where god says

"I am the bringer of good unto myself, I am the bringer of evil."
